在網站上他說到“My Mum died suddenly on September 4th, 2006After she died, I realized how much she’d been shielding me from my father’s mental state.He didn’t have alzheimers, but he had no short-term memory, and was often lost.

I took him to the funeral, but when we got home, he’d keep asking me every 15 minutes where my mother was. I had to explain over and over again, that she had died.

This was shocking news to him.

Why had no-one told him?Why hadn’t I taken him to the funeral? Why hadn’t he visited her in the hospital?

He had no memory of these events.

After a while, I realized I couldn’t keep telling him that his wife had died. He didn’t remember, and it was killing both of us, to constantly re-live her death.

I decided to tell him she’d gone to Paris, to take care of her brother, who was sick.And that’s where she is onw.

This is a journal.

An ongoing record of my father, and of our relationship.For whatever days we have left together.
